I dont understand the big deal about them using a roost?
I am in a cold winter climate and chose a fresh air poultry house; we have 4-5 month winters with temperatures that are frequently in the 20Fs and can get much colder. I will not be heating the coop and the design requires the birds to be in the back where the roosts are to get out of the drafts.
Also want to use deep bedding and clear the coop once or twice a year. This is accomplished by keeping their waste confined as much as possible to the drop boards and cleaning that daily.
